I thought that too. Subtle enough though that anyone mentioning it in the non-book thread is probably outing themselves, heh.

Don't forget Tywin owning Cersei.
Tyrells in general were boss as fuck this episode. Just planting seeds and making moves.

The honest truth is...
We don't get enough Missendei in every episode. Even the girlfriend admitted she was smoking hot.

Great episode, best of the season.
Margaery is killing it on-screen.
Cersei was shut down.
Varys is a fucking boss.
Danaerys domination.
Might have been one of the best episodes of the entire series.

I thought that was rather pedestrian of him and not up to his usual throat slitting standards. It was good though.

Yeah great episode. I think this is especially because they slowed down a little to expand on some of the things from the books, but actually did them really well.
Value added all around.

I recall he really let her have it in the book, if memory serves.
And yeah, Daenerys was out for blood. Dat Valyrian.
He only goes for the emotional jugular with deformed, mother killing, dwarven children.

For my family, the Mutiny at Craster's Keep was strike two on my "They aren't going to handle the Red Wedding very well, are they?" checklist. Based on their reaction to this and Jaime's unhanding, they are going to convulse in grief.
I was imagining the posts in here while watching that scene. :lol

May contain jokes =>
I guess it kind of seems like they're going towards some sort of answer on that plot point, I just can't imagine what worthwhile revelation it would be that would justify multiple scenes on the matter.

Said another way, the only actor that can keep up with him is Dinklage.
Is it too early to start my Emmy campaign for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau?
I laughed the entire time thinking of book Pod who is...what..like twelve years old?
Why do you think [series]
Brienne has him share a room with her in AFFC? Pod's a pimp!
Real reason:
They're not going anywhere with it, it's just meant as a bit of levity in the show.

Dany freeing the Unsullied was probably one of my favorite parts of the book and that fucking lived up to it. Brilliant

Can someone link me directly to book 1 on amazon or B&N please. I'm afraid to go searching since i might get spoiled stuff from other books. I already spoiled myself about

Jojen's face after Bran wakes up and Catelyn screaming "Promise me!" felt like something they're starting to brew.
I did notice that. I always associate green with the Reeds in this series. That hue for Cat works on two levels for me.
lol, at that gif.

it's the last Catelyn chapter. In the 40's somewhere I believe. Edit: chapter 51, just checked.

I thought Craster's Keep scene was done just fine, the only negative being...

Leaving out Mormont's final words to Sam about finding, and forgiving Jorah. Though, admittedly, even in the books, I don't know if that's going to go anywhere given all the other stuff on Sam's plate.

Great episode, full thoughts later, but far too busy.
Speaking of busy, apologies on my behalf, but my roundup of reviews and such probably won't be made tonight, I'm just swamped right now.

Oh no, I meant my family's reaction to the event itself. They didn't handle what happened during that scene very well. Lots of yelling, some tears. The way they presented the event was good.

Hello GOT thread - so I watched season 1 as it aired, but I decided to hold off on the next seasons until after I read the books. After all this time, I've only gotten to page 100 of book one. Should I continue my GOT abstinence? Or should I just screw it and catch up to watch the seasons as they air alongside the rest of the world?
Edit: just realized there are two threads and that I didn't need to post here and that my last post actually did go through. Whoops.

Wow Varys and the Queen of Thorns were amazing in every scene tonight. Diana Rigg has added alot to a character I never thought much of in the book, it's been fun to see that.
Dany freeing the Unsullied played out better than I thought, was very powerful.
Jaime and Brienne play off each other well, Locke's beatdown was humiliating for Jaime.

Seeing Cat in Bran's dream was disturbing, she looked a bit like how I picture UnCat.

Screw it. Just watch and enjoy and read the books later. They are completely different experiences (the show is lightning fast while the books are thorough, bordering on ponderous.
Personally, I never read a page until after I had seen S2 and my enjoyment of the books was improved because I had a sense of what the world was supposed to look like.
I have to agree. I didn't read them until after the first season and already knowing the characters/story made it easier for me to enjoy the books because I didn't have to remember who was who.

Great episode. Emilia Clarke really brought it home at the end there, didn't think she had it in her. And the music that played as the unsullied marched out of the city got my blood a pumpin
